sally mann had always subconsciously influenced my work I don't always think about her work untill i see others and think back. this is one of thougs cases where i have looked at this work for another project but it fits so well.the idea that this her dog adds a personal edge to the images it brings out my emotions my memorys of death in my life with my cat. the idea the need to document makes this project intresting its almost like resrection bringing her dog from the cold ground back to the life ontop. the dirt grounding the notion of the temporary.
